In supposing there might be some relevance to this at all I tried comparing
MegaPov 0.4 (msvc) with WinPOV-Ray (watcom) using the chess2.pov scene file too
and got just a 15 second difference, official POV being the faster of the two.
Although not perfect testing conditions I think it was probably a fair enough
check.  Render times 20:36 and 20:21.
